Beneath the Tangles

connecting anime and belief in open community

Author: Matthew G

Matthew G is interested in things. Many of them anime-related. He’s also trying to develop a taste for manga as time allows. Since his start as a long-winded, scatter-brained hobby blogger two years ago, Matthew has become the swashbuckler-in-chief for Team Anchester of the TangleCast, where he can be found taking shonen far too seriously, staring squinty-eyed at modern culture, and harping on the supremacy of God. So, like, your grandpa + anime.

TangleCast 56: Afikomen, All Might, and the Superhero

Have you seen EndGame yet? Then keep it to yourself! Matthew still hasn’t seen it. However, he does know a thing or two about the origin of superhero stories.

TangleCast 54: Code Geass and Men Without Chests

Are you fan of Code Geass?

I Would Like to Eat Your Pancreas [A Review]

I don’t willingly pay money for sad emotions. Well, I go to counseling, so that’s not entirely true. But the bottom line is, I don’t do sad movies. I don’t like the idea of being made to feel strong emotion in public. For this reason, I only entertain the idea of watching such movies if… Read More I Would Like to Eat Your Pancreas [A Review]

TangleCast 45: What’s More Than A Conqueror?

Everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to be a hero. That’s why we love anime about heroes who conquer all odds. But what’s left for the good guys to do once they conquer?
